WEsTAI I NSTER ELECTION. FOITRTII DAY. The Poll commenced yesterday at the usual bon' . and Aloodav beiog the day on which the Frit nos of Sir F. IttraDETT lead promised to make their great effort, ari unusual degree of bustlck prevailed in Covent-Garden, and the Horr;---15a-• • roller was considerably advanced in the course. or the d,y. CaolAio MAxwELL. appeared in the course of the Inornlng, was , 7ronoured with the .usual. ii blise, tvhicii• tae received with pet feet goo.ci bunt .or, profoundly host log to those .who were I most insolent. At eleven Sir It Wilson arrived in an open I a nelati, decorated with his own colours, and was loudly cheered by the mob ; he stood up without his tat, although it rained heavily, and having alighted limn his carriage, gaye a plumper for Sir Francis Burdett. He afterwards drove throng!' the crowd, andsilaped his course through hiog-street. - Tie next object of attraction out able the hustings was one of a novel description-- it was the exhibition of the portrait of an Ouraog Mitang, holding in his paws a green bag, 'sealed, and underneath the Avoids. " Ourang Outing, a Candidate for IVesttninster," This 'teas meant to apply to Sir Murray Maxwell, who it will he recollectttlbrought home in his ship an animal of this. description. In _the a fternoon a large green bag was carried on a polc—a cat-of ntne-Cails was displayed, and one lutlian exhibited his bare shoulder's, and accused the pilaw Cap tain of having inflicted on him certain lishes, which he bad most probably received at the (Jul Bailey. For this show a drunken litien•draper is reporte i to h.tye given the fellow a one-pound fl ute. At four o'clock, the same linen-diaper was exalted on the backs and shoulders of some of the mob, for the purpose of addressing Captain - Maxwell. much preparation lie told Sir Murray, " that as an officer be loved him much, hut he thought he had no business on those lins tings us a Candidate for the representation of Westminster." 'lbis he repeated eight or ten times, but could get no fan titer. Another person, who was also intoxicated, was e\alted in a simi lar manlier, hut it was impossible to hear a word be said. His object seemed to he to „eta place on the hustings, that he might be sheltered trout the rain, which was then falling very fast ; but in this Attempt lie was foiled by the constable , . At four the Poll closed, and the numbers, when announced, were as iollows Sir Samtml Rotnily ! Sir Francis Burdett ....1263 Sir Murray Maxtven....l7.2s Mr. Hunt The otob were still more outrageous on this than on the former days. Several stones were thrown, and one hit Mr. Lee, the High Con stable, in the face, and produced blood. Many handfuls of mud were sent to the hustings, and a shower of spittle .covered Sir Murray Maxwell, and all who were near him, with the marks of despicable rudeness, and insolent spite. At the time the board with the numbers was about to be pot up, a handful of mod nearly covered the gal lant Captain's face. The manner in which Sir N. Max well bore '' the pelting of the pitiless storm" will secure for hint more votes than all the ribands in Spit al field a could procure. Sir MURRAY MaxwELL then addressed the crowd with all his wonted good humso:r. He re gretted that they had been so long exposed to the inclemency of the weather, and should have felt even more for them, had he not, from a shower of another desetiption,'•been ; compelled to think a, little of himself. The present was, he believed, the first time that ever a Candidate had been as s saulted as he had been, and he hoped it would be the last, for he was sure when they coolly re flected on the subject, they would be sorry that any man who stood there contending for the ho nour of representing .the City of Westminster should have been covered with mod and spittle. — He had, on a former day, considered the conduct of the crowd, when in some respects similar, to be the mere exuberance of popular feeling .and good humour, and he still remained of the saute opinion, and took the same view of the passing scene. It was only with their hands and their mouths that they opposed hint. lit their hearts they . were Englishmen, and it was the nature of Englisbnien when they saw an individual assailed by a multitude to rush forward to rescue and con sole him, as he doubted nun the Electors would do on the present occasion. Before he came there, he had read a letter front the Gentleman who had, with much honour •to himself, repre sented the City of ‘Vestminster in Parliament.— Els observations went to press upon them the necessity of, for a considerable period, preserving the freedom of election. Ile would press the same point, for unless freedom of election were preserved, it was useless for hint or any man to offer himself for that or for any other place. The writer of that letter had not recommended it to them to treat those who might present themselves as Candidates in the way he had been treated.— 1 He, however, doubted not their conduct would be much altered in the couyse of the election.— Every thing at present favoured his hopes, and he should never have offered himself, had he not been confident of being returned.—Some disorder having occurred on the opposite side, he called to the crowd to remember that some of the fair sex were there. There were none on the hustings from which he addressed them, and there lie hoped all their shot would,lie directed. [A fight occur red at this moment in one of the galleries oppo site.] He saw their attention was attracted else where, and should now take his leave, requesting them to hear the other Candidates. Mr. M..Maxwect. then retired with his friends. Mr. BRUCE then appeared. He entreated that they would do no injury to the cause of Sir F. Burdett, by committing any excess. He congra tulated them on the glorious efforts they had made that day. , Another such would secure their triumph, and place England's pride and West minster's hope at the head of the poll. He would not trouble them with a speech of his own, hut read the answer of Sir F. Burdett to a requisition from some of the Electors. Mr. Bruce then read the letter, in which Sir Francis declined to com ply with the wishes of the Committee and appear on the Lusting, conceiving. that such a course would strip him of his personal consideration, and be a sacrifice of self-respect and public principles "a`Uar of eNpe4liency. * if these eloquent words of their frie , ul were not enough to io spire zeal, it wmuld ,be vain fur hin► to nt tempt it. Would they send into Parliament a Court Candidate, who, it he sncceeded, would. be only the .Representatice.of beadles, of tax gatherers, of parish officers. and the sweepings of all the public offices ? wished to expose same of the tricks of their adversaries,__Dey brought an army of tax-collectors u pon the post lugs, anti while the votes of the Court Candidate were yeseivy-d,,,-those - of Sir F. Burdett were ob. e jected to. There were many who had not paid their rates, and they were remitted, to •eoable the4t9o poll, while the proud aristocrat of the country threatened to deprive those with whom he dealt of 'his custom, unless they voted for Sir M. Maxwell. The friends of Sir F. Burdett were still 'vigorous and undaunted. To-morrow they would poll such a number as would confound their enemies. 'lbis was their battle, and not that of Sir F. Burdett. Every man should now consider himself as the centre of his own circle, and the feeling in favour of the good cause would then soon extend itself through all Weittninster.. Mr. ‘Visitatur returned thanks on the part• of Sir S. Ro l etilly. The Electors of- Westminster Ihail conferred honour o n themselves by placing him at the head of the poll. Mr.CLEA.tty said he had before ptophesied.what the result of this contest would be. The friends of Sir Francis Bnytlett • had gone through -every quarter of West Minster, and they found the feel logs of all orders strongly in favour of the man of the people. But this was not enough. They should not relax,. The tax-gatherers were against them, and their dints ought nut to cease until they phced Sir F. Burdett at the head of the poll. Sir S. Rowilly might he tespectable, but he was . not so dear to them as Sir F. Burdett. Lord Ca tlereagh gave a plumper to Sir M. Maxwell. The 1 friends of Sir F. Burdett ought to act in the same manner until they saw him out of all danger. Mr. HuNT came forth atnidst shouts and hisses, mixed with the usual questions about his wife. What had been done for Sit F. Burdett, upon that day, proved that the spirit of Westminster was not yet extinct. It was very much to be regretted that the friends of liberty bad sutlered Sir M. Maxwell to get so high upon the poll. They en deavoured to bring Sir F. Burdett front limb by a letter.—(( ries of No ! no ! It won't do Hunt.) What could Sir F. Burdett fear among.them ?-- (Cries of Off ! off !)--As to the services of that lion. Baronet, had he spoken a word about the standing army Let what will happen, they should not be enslaved while he (Mr. Hunt) was alive.— (A loud laugh.)—Hunt endeavoured to proceed further in his oration, but he was hissed off. Mr. PITT said, Sir F. Burdett was prevented from coming forward by motives of public purity. His friends had taken the business into their own hands, as they saw that it was neglected by the Committee. Mr. GALE 3roxEs made a long harangue in fa vour of Hunt, whose friends, he said, wished to unite with those. of Sir.F. Burdett, but they were rejected with scorn. He regretted that Wat Tyler had been so treacherously slain by the Mayor of London, and that his own speeches were not given more at length in the newspapers. The business of the day then ended—the whole of Sir M. Maxwell's colours having previously been stolen from tire booths on which they were displayed. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. We mentioned yesterday that Mr. BARCLAY had declined any further contest for South wark. A letter to this.effect froM his . Committee was read in the course of the morning upon the Hostings, and, after the usual formalties, the ig,h Bailiff declared the election 'to have fallen on Charles Calvert. Esq.'and Sir Robert Wilson, Bart. The successful Candidates• then addressed the Electors, amid loud acclamations. They will be chait ed on Thursday. BIZISTOL, 21.—Our poll closed on Satur day Mr. DAVIS, our Blue Member, has been returned by the most triumphaut Majority ever known in Bristol, for our good old Church and King. .PaoTuttaos has gained his Election ; but the party is divided, and had the Blues put up two Members, there is no doubt bnt that they would have returned them. The poll at the close stood as under : • Davis, 3377.—Protheroe, 2:s9.—Baillie, 1681. The Grand Duke Alicttagt. and suite went yes terday morning to Battersea, to view the Manu factory for making shoes with nails, &v. with which his Imperial HighneSs appeared much amused: his brother, the Emperor of RUSSIA, took much interest. in this manufactory when in England. In the evening his imperial Highness went to Covent-Garden Theatre. FIRE AT TEMPLE BAR.—We are gratified in finding that though Mr. DQWNRS has suffered much by the fire at Temple Bar, in the destrnc-, tion of much furniture, paper, and many valuable books, that no injury has happened to his printing materials—that part of his business having been carried on in separate premises. COMPLETION OP THE FRANKLIN MANUSCRIPTS. —We are requested to state that the third and last volume, in quarto, of the '' Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Dr. FRANKLIN," will be pub lished on Thutoday next.. • This concluding volumels calculated to excite, if 'possible, a still greater interest than the two preceding, as it con tains a vast number of political, philosophical, and miscellaneous papers, never before published.

MISSION OF THL srARTAN FRIGATE TO ALGIERS, , The Genoese Ship Misericordia having been plundered by the lace DEY of ALGIERS of consi derable property, and at the same time the GENOESE Vics-CoNsut. being treated with great indignity, and dismissed from Algiers, a Coln plaint %vas wade to the British "Government o this outs age, in direct violation of the Treaty which had been concluded with Algigrs by Ad mind Lord ExmouTH. On this.representation, the Spartan Fri ate, commanded by Captain Wise, was dispatched to demand an explanation, and to remonstrate against these violent pro ceedings. She returned a few days ago to Ply- mouth, where she still remains under quarantine, on account of the plague, that was raging at Algiers.—Captain V'isr has been completely suc cessful in the object of his Mission. Immediately on his arrival he entered, in conjunction with HIS MAJESTY'S CONSUL, into a Negociat:Gn with the Day, the result of which was, the payment of 33,000 Dollars as a compensation for the pro- perry plundered on board the Misericordia, and an unqualified disavowal, on the part of the reign- ing DLY, of the act of his Predecessor (who died of the plague on the Ist March), in sending away from Algiers the VICE-CONSUL of his SARDINIAN MAJESTY. No violence appears to have been committed on the persons of any of his AIA.• JcsTy's Subjects, as was stated in the French Papers. We received last night the Paris Papers of Fri day last, and this morning those of Saturday. The KING, set out from Paris on Thursday morn ing for St. Cloud, where his Majesty arrived in the evening, together with Monsieur (the Count D'AnTots) and the Duke D'ANGOULI3I\4O. They propose to remain there for five or six weeks. The DuChesS,D'ANGOULENIE is expected to return to Paris on the Ist of next month, from whence her Royal Highness is like Wise to proceed to join the King at St. Cloud. The truth of the state ment of the earthquake at Philipopolis is doubted in some of these Journals, no such event being mentioned in the latest accounts from Constanti nople. Mr. BROOK TAYLOR, the British Minister to the Court of Wurtemberg, arrived at Paris on Wednesday. An epidemical disorder of a malig nant character is stated to have manifested itself in Corsica. The young Grand Duke ALEXANDER, recently born (son of the Grand Duke Ntcnot,as), has been appointed. by the Emperor of Russia Colonel of the Regiment of Hussars of the Guards. FIVE PER CENTS.
